loblo Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Apparently not:A limited port to Windows 98/ME is possible, but that would require lots of work.http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#Q11._Is_it_possible_to_run_coLinux_under_98.2FME.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loblo Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Well, the legacy version of the Cygwin runtime may allow you to run X11 linux apps under 98. I used to have it installed a few years back and remember running Xfig and a few other linux apps I don't remember what they were. I initially installed it with a view to install Geomview but I never managed to get it to run (not clever enough to follow the instructions properly I guess) and so after a while I deleted this whole 1GB+ Cygwin thing to free space for other stuff. Anyway, that's the closest to co-linux under win98 there is I would think.http://www.cygwin.com/win-9x.htmlhttp://personal.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/software/SaVi/building-under-Windows/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdsg Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) The idea is to run software not compatible with windows 98example: firefox 8,virtualbox,wine... Edited November 13, 2011 by kdsg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
